Systems Engineer – Flight Simulation & MBSE

PGS Worldwide is seeking a Systems Engineer – Flight Simulation & MBSE in Orlando, Florida for an approximately eleven-month hybrid contract-to-hire role supporting a leading aerospace & defense company. This position will support next-generation rotary-wing flight simulation, with emphasis on CH-53K ownship software, SysML-based systems engineering, aircraft-system behavior, and simulator hardware/software integration.

Required Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.
• 3+ years of relevant professional engineering experience.
• Experience applying Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles.
• Experience developing or interpreting SysML models covering requirements, use cases, structure, behavior, interfaces, and traceability.
• Experience with requirements decomposition, interface definition, system architecture, and verification planning.
• Working knowledge of C++ sufficient to collaborate with software-development teams and understand implementation constraints.
• Experience supporting system integration, test, verification, validation, troubleshooting, or technical baseline management.
• Ability to analyze complex system interactions and clearly communicate requirements, interfaces, assumptions, and technical risks.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with Cameo Systems Modeler or Cameo Enterprise Architect.
• Experience with flight simulation, real-time training systems, or digital engineering.
• Experience with Python, Bash, or AI-assisted engineering tools.
• Knowledge of aircraft systems, avionics, flight dynamics, mission systems, or aircraft-malfunction modeling.
• Rotorcraft, pilot-training, or simulator-domain experience.
• Familiarity with DIS/HLA, TCP/UDP, and hardware I/O.
• Experience with cockpit displays, audio systems, motion systems, or control-loading interfaces.
• Experience with recording/replay, data logging, after-action review, instructor workflows, or training scenarios.
• Familiarity with automated testing, requirements-to-test traceability, FAA/EASA standards, Qualification Test Guides, or simulator qualification.

What You’ll Do

• Define, decompose, trace, and verify requirements for rotary-wing training simulation systems.
• Develop and maintain SysML-based system models and architecture.
• Translate pilot, instructor, and training needs into implementable engineering requirements.
• Define interfaces across simulation software, hardware, training workflows, and supporting infrastructure.
• Support CH-53K and MH-60R/CG simulation use cases involving pilot maneuvers, procedures, aircraft behavior, and malfunctions.
• Collaborate with software developers, integration/test engineers, pilots, instructors, and technical subject-matter experts.
• Support verification planning, integration, troubleshooting, and system validation.
• Analyze simulator hardware/software interactions and technical risks.
• Support development of recording, replay, after-action review, and training-scenario capabilities.

Work Schedule / Shift

• Hybrid — onsite 2–3 days per week in Orlando
• 4/10, 1st shift

Pay

• Up to $85.00 per hour.
